The go-ahead sequence was an adventure as North Carolina’s Sterling Manley bobbled an inbound pass with four seconds on the shot clock. Berry rebounded Manley’s air ball and barely got the shot off before the shot clock expired with 7.1 seconds on the game clock.

The Tar Heels have won the last four meetings with the Fighting Irish.

Maye gave North Carolina a 67-66 lead with a free throw after he air-balled the first toss on the two-shot opportunity with 1:32 remaining. Gibbs made two free throws at the 37-second mark, putting the Fighting Irish on top 68-67. Kenny Williams fouled out on the play going for a strip after Gibbs grabbed a defensive rebound.

The Fighting Irish fell to 2-2 without All-American Bonzie Colson, who’s out with a broken foot. Notre Dame guard Matt Farrell missed his third consecutive game with an ankle injury, though he was in uniform and went through warmups.

Notre Dame collected 20 offensive rebounds, helping make up for 34.8 percent shooting from the field. The Fighting Irish held a 45-37 overall rebounding advantage.

Pinson scored five straight points as North Carolina led 56-50 with its biggest lead of the game.

Aided by a pair of Gibbs 3-pointers in a 41-second span, the Fighting Irish pulled even at 60-60. Notre Dame surged to a 66-60 lead on a pair of 3-pointers from Djogo.

Cam Johnson’s 3-pointer in the waning seconds of the first half gave the Tar Heels a 40-37 edge at the break.
